Two-time defending Lancaster Golf Club champion Jeff Reynolds will seek his third straight crown this weekend in a field of 16 golfers.

Reynolds, who has rallied to win the club championship in sudden death for two straight years, captured the 2008 crown on the first play-off hole. He and 2005 club champion Chris Johnson were tied at one-under 143 after 36 holes before Reynolds carded a par on No. 1 to take the win. His victory capped a dramatic rally in the final nine holes when he was down five shots.

As the week of extreme temperatures came to a close, one would have thought the track at Lancaster Speedway to be dry and dusty. That was not the case. The “Masters of the Mud” did an amazing job keeping the dirt track in shape.

The S.C High School League’s realignment will have a major impact on Lancaster County high schools.

Realignment, the League’s biannual reshuffling of schools for interscholastic competition based on school enrollment, begins with the 2010-11 school term and lasts for two years.

The realignment has Lancaster headed into a new region with familiar past foes, while the rest of the county schools – Andrew Jackson, Buford and Indian Land – will compete in one region for the first time ever.
